IFiP: Industrial Manufacturing of Parts,Brackets and Fittings in Carbon PEEK Compounds

Abstract (German)

As the use of lightweight classical prepreg epoxy composite material for simple parts has became state of the art in the aerospace industry with the example of the Boeing 787 made of 50% composite. Long chopped fibers epoxy prepreg are even more used for the manufacturing of complexed shaped parts and the B787 contain more than 100 parts made with this material. But that kind of material could not be used for crash parts or aircraft interior purposes. New materials made of Carbon PEEK Compounds are going to resolve this problematic. The use of Carbon PEEK Compounds is facing an industrialisation challenge in the aerospace industry which is going to be solved during this project.
